Hey, everyone! I'm back with another chapter of Ultimate Alliance What If...?! Let's begin!
I DON'T OWN ANYONE IN THIS SERIES!*
Watcher: The Guardians of the Multiverse. Heroes plucked from across different realities to protect the fate of all of them. But you don't know her story. From the daughter of a Mad Titan to the champion of the multiversal war, Gamora's path to becoming the hero of her story began in someone else's. Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question... "What If?"
Iron Man: Pepper...
Watcher: With his home on the verge of destruction, Tony Stark, self-made Iron Man, made the ultimate hero's play.
We see him throwing the nuke at the Chitauri during the war of New York.
Watcher: But in this universe, Tony never made it home.
He was right, just as he reached the portal, Tony didn't went threw, he went inside the portal. Soon, Tony was flying threw space. Until he reached Sakaar!
Iron Man: [falling] Whoa!
He then crash landed inside a giant tower.
Iron Man: Oh, crap. I'm dead. [takes off face plate] Okay, this can't be heaven. [looks infront of him] Um, tell me you're not God.
Turns out, the person infront of Tony was the Grandmaster!
Grandmaster: Hey. look. Who is this handsome dog? Look at that radiant skin. I call you "Porcelana. Senor Porcelana."
Tony: Okay. [sees his suit short circuting] Whoa!
Grandmaster: Uh-oh. Fire. Topaz, the foam.
Topaz: Release the foam.
That's when a bunch of pink form surrounded Tony.
Grandmaster: Okay, we got it good. I think it was overkill with the foam. But look. He's still smoldering.
Tony: Uh, no, this is hell. I've gone to hell.
Grandmaster: [bops Tony's nose] Oh, tsk, tsk, my new friend, this is the planet of Sakaar.
Tony: I'm sorry. "Planet?" As in, "I'm lost in space?"
Grandmaster: Uh, yes. [looks closer] Wait a minute. Wait a minute. [realises] It's you. This is you. This is you. This is the guy. Mr. Metal Mojo Man is in the palace.
Tony: Uh, "Iron Man."
Grandmaster: Crusher of the Chitaurinos. The defeater of Thanos.
Tony: Who?
Grandmaster: And provocaterur with the facial hair. I like what you're doing with the chin decoration there.
Tony: Do we know each other?
Grandmaster: Time works differently here. [shows article of Tony] We've been talking about Mr. Metal Mojo Man's nuclear ride for days. By the way, can I call you "Mojo?"
Tony: Never.
Grandmaster: No? Possibly "Tin Man?"
Tony: No.
Grandmaster: "Rocket Man?"
Tony: Nope.
Grandmaster: "Mojo Man" it is. Okay, there you go.
But Tony wasn't listening, he was focus on the article, shocking and making him sad.
Grandmaster: Mojo. Hey, quick. Do that thing you do. You know, the thing. Do the thing.
Tony: [as the foam comes off] Okay, Wizard of Oz, I need to get back to the Earth pronto. Can you help me with that?
Grandmaster: Sure. Of course. I'll get you on a zoom. You know, the zoom. But first, you gotta stay and celebrate with us. It's my 21st.
Tony: 21st what?
Grandmaster: Birthday. I know, I know. I don't look a day over 18, but...
Tony: Thanks, but I've kind of put my party days behind me. So, spaceship? Is it that way?
Grandmaster: Topaz.
Topaz then use the staff to melt a iron statue infront of Tony's eyes!
Tony: Um, will there be food?
Soon, the Grandmaster's birthday was happening! Tony was at the top of the arena, where something was going on below him something the the Grandmaster calls the Sakaar Grand Prix.
Tony: [grabs drink] [looks down and sees cars]
She could see Valkyrie and Korg down there. And soon, the race has begun!
Tony: [takes sip of drink] [spits it out] That taste liek a dog park.
Grandmaster: [wearing Iron Man facep plate] [scares Tony] Boo. Surprise. It's me. Didn't mean to spook you. Or did I? I did. I did. Isn't this quint? You know, on Yurth...
Tony: "Earth."
Grandmaster: "Oorth?"
Tony: "Earth."
Grandmaster: "Arfff?"
Tony: Yep, you got it. Nailed it.
Grandmaster: Yeah. Well, this would be called a chariot race.
Tony: Formula 1 race.
Grandmaster: No, these are chariots. See the drivers? The wheels?
Tony: Yeah, this is intergalactic NASCAR.
Grandmaster: Race cars are similar, but very different. Common mistake. Don't be embarrassed.
That's when the crashing happened!
Grandmaster: I told them to get bigger gas tanks. I barely felt that flame.
We now see Valkyrie driving down, trying to survive.
Grandmaster: [as another car crashes] Whoa! Well, a fitting end for... Who was that?
But as one car was about to destroy Valkyire's car, she went up a pile of cars as a ramp and started to spin.
Grandmaster: Oh! Look at that flame. He was made to be roadkill.
Soon, Valkyire crashed in the middle of the track.
Tony: Where's the firefighters? The medics?
Grandmaster: You're gonna miss the best part. [to crowd] Hey, throw the tin cans at her.
Soon, the crowd started to throw cans at Valkyire!
Valkyire: [getting hit] Oi! I'd like to see you all drive.
Tony: Isn't this a touch barbaric?
Grandmaster: Okay, now the small animals.
Topaz: Throw the animals!
That's when the crowd started to throw hamster-like creatures at her. Turns out, they were alien chinchillas.
Grandmaster: Topaz, chinchilla me. [catches chinchilla and throws it at Valkyire] Calm your cheeks, Mojo. We used to throw rotton food, but given the recent famines leaving people... How do I put this?
Topaz: Starving.
Grandmaster: Peckish. It's considered uncouth.
While they were talking, Valkyire grabs a bottle and drank it.
Grandmaster: Hey, if you like my chinchillas, you're gonna love my champion.
Topaz: Release the champion!
That's when they release the champion, which was a giant elephant-like creature!
Korg: [sees the creature] Snuffy! [creature coming towards him] [gasps]
He then grabs his car, which was smaller than him, and ran away from it! But then the beast caught up with Korg, threw him up into the air and ate Korg's car! Tony have had enough of what just happened!
Tony: So much for staying for one drink. [activates his device and call his suit]
Grandmaster: Oh! You're doing the thing. He's doing the thing.
That's when parts of his suit came on to him. The parts were his boots, his chest piece and his gloves.
Tony: Uh, why is it sticky?
He then blasted off, but ended up with him crashing down to the track! Then Tony saw the beast charging at him!
Korg: Careful, mate. This guy here does not like to be touched.
Tony: Thanks for the tip, Mount Rushmore.
He then was about to blast the beast with his laser from his hands, but it short circut! That's when the beast exploded into bits, making the crowd cheer! As the smoke cleared, turns out the blast came from Gamora! She then points the gun at Tony and starts to shoot him! But Tony was dodging it! Tony then blasted the gun with his laser, and Gamora pulled out her sword and charged at him!
Tony: [as Gamora points her sword at him] Who are you?
Gamora: Your death.
That's when the electric sticker stuck on her neck and electrocuted her! Same thing with Tony!
Grandmaster: [as Topaz was holding the control] [to Tony] Thank you very, very much. You've ruined my birthday. That's sarcasm. The first part, not the second part. Topaz, uh, fix this.
Turns out, she put Gamora and Tony into a private bedroom, making him think they were a couple!
Tony: Whoa, whoa, whoa! I specifically asked for a private room.
Gamora: [runs towards door] No, no, no! Don't you dare lock me in here!
Topaz: [closes door] He sensed a connection between the two of you.
Tony: Then why is he here?
Turns out, in there as well as Korg!
Korg: Then why is who here? There's nothing over here. Just a pile of rocks. With some eyes.
That's when Gamora started to attack Tony.
Korg: [grabs Gamora's head] Hang on a minute.
Gamora: [moves Korg's hand] My quarrel is not with you. It's with... [to Tony] What? What are you doing?
Tony: I don't usally do this in front of company.
He then used his Arc Reactor to unstick the device from his neck!
Tony: Perk of having an arc reactor in your chest. Now, who are you? And better question, why are you trying to kill me?
Korg: Well, hello. My name is Korg. I consider myself more of a lover than a fighter.
Tony: Not you!
Gamora: I am the daughter of Thanos, the Mad Titan, the one burdened to bring balance to this universe.
Tony: Daughter of Thanos. Daddy wasn't very creative with the name, was he? [goes to door]
Gamora: What are you doing?
Tony: Not hanging around to play Dr. Moreau's Hunger Games, that's for sure.
He then use his device to unlock the door.
Korg: Look at that magical bracelet he's got.
Tony: All right. Ready to rock 'n' roll? I had to say that at least once.
As Korg runs out of the room, Tony closes the door on Gamora!
Tony: Not you, Stabby. This is a two-man band.
Korg: Oh, my gosh. Dream come true. We're in a band.
Soon, the two were walking around the fortress.
Tony: [to Korg] So, tell me about this Grandmaster. Did he gerrymander the districts?
Korg: Well, heck-a-rooney-zooney. The Grandmaster ain't that bad. Actually, he is that bad. He does spend all our money on death. Hmm. I should never have voted for him.
Soon, the two were at a ships docks.
Tony: That's not so bad. All right. Wait for my signal.
Korg: Say no more, bro.
He then started to beat up the guards with his great strength, impressing Tony.
Tony: Yeah, what happened to waiting?
Korg: Oh, Tony, Tony, Tony. You blinked.
Tony: On no planet is that a signal.
Korg: Tony, I thought I saw your goatee twitch.
Tony: No. Still not a signal.
Korg: No, it's doing it again.
Tony:Did you think that in the jail cell?
Korg: It's a nervous tick.
While they were talking, Gamora came from behind and grabs the gun on the ground!
Korg: [gasps] She's got a gun.
Tony: You again. Did you glare your way out of that cell?
Gamora: Oh, it'll take more than laser-proof glass to rob Thanos of his victory.
Tony: Yep, pick a new song.
She then started to shoot at the two! But she exploded a ship to make a hole in the wall.
Tony: Huh. Thanks for the exit.
He then grabs the device and tases Gamora with it.
Korg: Take that, vile asparagus woman.
That's when the alarms started to blare out!
Gamora: You're weak. Your entire race is weak. Thanos will have his revenge.
Tony: Okay, Thanos, Jr. or whatever your name is, did we date or something? What's your dad got against me?
Gamora: You destroyed his Chitauri.
Tony: New York? [realises] That was Thanos?
Gamora: Your victory might have been glorious, but it will also be short.
Tony: Victory? Glory? People died. I lost a friend. Do you know what it's like to see your home world destroyed? Almost brought to its knees by a madman? Huh? Did you know about Daddy's plan? Did you watch as those tried to break us?
Gamora: You were lucky. Next time...
Tony: There won't be a next time, Xena. [about to tase her]
But as Tony was about to tase her, Grandmaster was saying rude things about him. That made Tony stop.
Tony: Hey, Korg, is this Grandmaster guy as bad as my gut says he is?
Korg: [gets in ship] Oh, this one time, he used me as a paperweight, and can you imagin how that felt? Just to have to sit on paper, which is my nemesis.
Tony: [looking confused]
Korg: Mmm-hmm. Say no more. Thrusters are ready. Just say the word.
Tony: [going towards the ship] Then, for no greater reason than to piss you off and prove you wrong, I'm going to save this planet too. And then I'm going after your dad.
Soon, the two were off, leaving Gamora. That's when Topaz came in and tase Gamora!
Topaz: How did she get out? Anybody? Anyone?
Korg: [to Tony] You're really gonna risk everything for a bunch of strangers on an alien junk planet?
Tony: Yeah, that's what I do. I'm Iron Man.
Korg: Iron Man? Wow! Your mother must be proud. I ber Mrs. Iron brags to all the neighbors.
Tony: First, we need a driver.
That's when they went to Valkyire at a bar.
Korg: Hmm. Look at this little thing. I think I'll name him Nikos, after my friend Jeffrey.
Tony: So, you're a fool or even a bad driver, yet you were in a death race. Care to explain?
Valkyire: I was going to win.
Tony: Sure you were. What happened to last year's winner?
Korg: He went to live on a farm with the other winners. It's a really interesting farm. They put you in this really comfy bed, and then put you into the ground, and then they put this cool stone thing just up where your head is.
?: They killed the winners.
The three turned around to see Din Djarin, the Mandalorian, came towards them!
Korg: What? No one dies. They've got bunnies.
Tony: [to Mandalorian] How do you know?
Valkyire: I didn't know that Mandalorians were even on this planet.
Tony: Manda-what?
Mandalorian: The Mandalorians have patrols on every planet.
Tony: Anyway. My guess, and I'm in no way speaking from personal experience, you want the thrill. To feel alive, if only for a moment, you know? So you can forget whatever mistake has you chasing that demon in a bottle.
Valkyire: First, Demon in a Bottle is sewer water. [points at the bottle in her hand] This is Demon Rum, top-shelf, gold label. Second, don't be in here giving me life advice, goatee.
Tony: Wow. Names hurt. The Grandmaster is a cheat, and he deserves to be taken down.
Valkyire: You're going to overthrow the Grandmaster? You? And you? [laughs]
Mandalorian: You can count me in.
Valkyire: Why aren't you two laughing?
Korg: Tony, help, please. Nikos is pooping on me. I do not like it. And he will not stop.
Tony: [grabs bottle] Because we're gonna beat the Grandmaster at his own game. [pours it into shot glasses and passes one to Valkyire] What do you say? Partners?
Valkyire thinks for a second, then cheers Tony with her drink. But when Tony took the drink, he wasn't feeling that great. Back to Gamora, she was locked in a cell.
Topaz: [opens her cell] [holding taser] Hey, don't try any silly stuff.
That's when Gamora kick the taser into the celling and grabs the melting staff and melts the guards! Then she points it at Topaz!
Gamora: [smells the guards melting] Ugh! Smells like burnt yaro root.
Back to the four, they started to build something for Tony! Turns out, it was the Sakaarian suit, making him Sakaarian Iron Man!
Valkyire: So, mountain man said something about the spawn of Thanos being on your trail?
Tony: Yeah. I hear he's not the type you wanna meet in a dark alley.
Valkyire: You shouldn't be here. You should be running.
Tony: Ever heard of "campground rules?" "Always leave a place better than you found it."
Soon, they got to planning. Back to Gamora, she was talking with the Grandmaster.
Grandmaster: Uh... First, I apologize for not recognizing you, you offspring of Thanos. His little moppet of evil. We're all huge fans of your father's work.
Topaz: You are an excellent murderess.
Gamora: I want Tony Stark.
Grandmaster: Who?
Gamora: Ho-ho Man.
Grandmaster: Oh! Blasty-hands, He left. He's gone. No idea where. Could be anywhere.
That's when Sakaarian Iron Man came onto the space-tron!
Sakaarian Iron Man (hologram): Hey, Technicolored Dream Coat.
Grandmaster: That's good.
Sakaarian Iron Man (hologram): Yeah, I hacked your toys. And I built some of my own. Now, I can take down this planet, but let's be real. The people-creatures-beings of Skaar have seen enough insanity. Here's my offer. Me, you, one race. Winner takes the planet.
Topaz: But we already have the planet.
Gamora: It's a trap. Stark is a genius on his world.
Grandmaster: Yes, but not a master genius like me. Hmm. [to Iron Man] I'm intrigued, but not sold.
Sakaarian Iron Man (hologram): You pick the chariots.
Topaz: Sir, there's no reason to do this.
Grandmaster: Hush up. Don't be such a Logic-Linda. Hey, if I win, um, I get that suit. I want that suit.
Sakaarian Iron Man (hologram): Uh, deal. [ends call]
Crowd: [cheering]
Grandmaster: [chuckles]
Gamora: You're a fool.
Grandmaster: You know, you want the Mr. Metal Man, and now you know excatly where he'll be. [tases Gamora] By the way, you're racing too, moppet of Thanos.
Gamora: [getting tased] It's Daughter of Thanos.
Grandmaster: "Daughter?" Really? Sure. I'll stick to that story.
Soon, the race was starting, as Korg, Valkyire, the Mandalorian, and Sakaarian Iron Man came towards the track, slow motion-like. Korg and Valkyire went into her racing car, and the Mandalorain went into his personal car. That's when the Grandmaster came out with a sport space car while the horns were blaring.
Sakarrian Iron Man: [to Grandmaster] There's no winning today. Quit now, and no one gets hurt.
Grandmaster: [chuckles]
He then brings out Tony's car, which was a small seated car with one gigantic wheel.
Sakaarian Iron Man: Oh, wow. Slap me and call me Spartacus. That's a chariot.
Grandmaster: Hey, loser.
Iron Man then sees Topaz tapping the melting staff to her racing car and Gamora being force into another racing car!
Gamora: [as Tony comes over] Come to take this off me?
Sakaarian Iron Man: Depends. Still gonna kill me? [Gamora gives him look] That's what I thought. [gives her something] Here. Lets keep in touch. [gives peace sign to her] Have a nice summer.
Soon, the race was on its way. But as the Grandmaster hologram was saying get ready, the real Grandmaster was off! When he did, the others were off! Already, some of them were already crashing into each other. One of them was blasting at the others with his gun on his top.
Sakarrian Iron Man: Could use a little help.
That's when Mandalorian shot the gun with his blaster! That's when the Grandmaster push a button in his racing car, and the wall infront of him opened, and they all went threw it.
Sakarrian Iron Man: [calling Gamora] Hey, Oscar the Grouch, can you hear me? Listen, I'm the last one to give a lecture on daddy issues. My dad was a far cry from Atticus Finch.
Gamora: Who?
Sakaarian Iron Man: Excatly. Who are you? 'Cause all I hear is your father.
Gamora: I'm a murderess.
Sakaarian Iron Man: Yeah, yeah, that was yesterday. What about today? What about right now? [sees something ahead] Let me put you on hold.
When they reached the end of the tunnel, there was a giant drop and they fell down it! Some of the other racers crashed from it! When they reached the ground, Gamora was about to shoot Tony.
Sakaarian Iron Man: [to Gamora] Oh! You're alive. Happy been happier. Oh! Hold up there, Lady Grinch. [to Valkyire] Could use a little help.
Valkyire then blasted a car that crashed infront of Gamora, making he turned into a different direction. That's when Topaz came charging towards Iron Man!
Valkyire: Tony, incoming!
When he sees Topaz coming, Sakarrian Iron Man jumped into the air, allowing her to destroy his car! When that happened, Tony's suit transforms into a NASCAR racing car!
Korg: Oh, it's on.
Tony then crashed Topaz into a wall, and he was zooming off! When the Grandmaster saw that, he pressed another button, and spike walls came threw the ground! Tony easily drove by them, while others not so much. Gamora was getting closer to Tony with great speed!
Tony: Oh, there you are. All right. Where was I? Oh! Right. Look, I get it. I lived in my dad's shadow for a long time. I did stuff I'm not proud of. People died because of who I was and what I built. My point is, people can change, and for the better. But I'm not my father. You're not your father. I made a choice for the better, and I became Iron Man.
Gamora: You mean "Mr. Metal Mojo?"
Tony: Oh. I see that's sticking.
The race was about over, and Grandmaster was in the lead with Tony behind him. Grandmaster then pushed another button, and the floor drops and two elephant monsters came from it!
Tony: [sees the two monsters] [to Gamora] Anyway, you get to decide who you wanna be. Not your father. Not your past. You decide. Who are you? Daughter of Thanos, or... You know, I never caught your name.
Gamora thought for a couple seconds, then...
Gamora: My name is Gamora.
She then points her guns at the monsters and killed them! When she did that, she crashed from them blocking her way!
Tony: Thank you, Gamora. Is that Dutch? Swedish, maybe?
Gamora: This isn't over, Stark.
Soon, the racers that were left were Mandalorian behind, Valkyire and Korg in third, Tony coming in second, while Grandmaster was still in first. But where Mandolarian and Valkyire were, Grandmaster pushed a button and the tunnel they were in started to explode, making them crash!
Tony: Whoa! Val, you okay?
Valkyire: Yeah, I'm good. Just win the race.
Tony: Yes.
It was close, with the two last racer back to back! But as Tony gets the lead, Grandmaster gets speed and was about to hit the finish line! That's when Tony turns his ARC Reactor left, and the power inside his car gives him an extreme boost, allowing him to win the race! Tony then transforms his car back to his Sakaarian Iron Man suit, as the crowd cheers!
Grandmaster: Well, gold star to us. We have a tie. And, as the rules state, the choice of winner comes down to me. I choose me.
Crowd: [boos Grandmaster]
Sakaarian Iron Man: I won fair and square.
Grandmaster: Uh, Topaz?
That's when Topaz came charging in with the spear!
Mandalorain: No!
That's when Grogu came out of his car and used the force to make Topaz's wheel pop, making the staff come off and hitting Grandmaster and making him melt!
Korg: Oh! He smells like bad life choices.
When the smoke cleared, Valkyire came out of it, making her the leader of Sakaar!
Valkyire: [to Tony] Uh, what's happening?
Sakaarian Iron Man: I think they just crowned you their king.
Valkyire: Good. I was thinking someone should lay down some campground rules around here.
Korg: [as they look at him] What do you say? Despite my outward appearances, I'm not really one for nature.
Valkyire: What do you say about being special conusel to the king?
Korg: Yeah, okay, I'll do that.
Soon, the four were celebrating with drinks!
Tony: To leaving a place better than you found it. [takes drink] [spit it out] [groans] Ugh! One drink. Just one drink that doesn't taste like a theme park urinal.
Valkyire: I can't convince you to stay, huh?
Tony: I would, but it's time to go home. Pepper's waiting for me.
Korg: More of a salt man myself. Bad for you, sure, but when isn't love dangerous?
But as Tony was about to leave, Grogu jumped onto his chest.
Tony: [looks at Grogu sadly]
Soon, Tony was on a ship, heading to Earth.
Tony: Almost there, Pepper.
Watcher: So close to home. His odyssey almost at an end, except...
That's when Gamora appeared from behind!
Gamora: I can't return to my father without you, Stark.
Soon, she brought Tony to Thanos.
Watcher: It's not the punches thrown but the people that change the outcome of the battle. It's connection. It's love, friendship.
Thanos: You never fail to amaze me, little one. You're the one they call Iron Man? I expected more.
Gamora: Hey, someone finally got your name right.
Tony: Let's do this, G.
Watcher: It's knowing someone has your back in a fight.
Turns out, Gamora and Tony planned to kill Thanos with the melting staff! And that's the origon of Gamora joining the Gauradians of the Multiverse!
End
